Colonies
Fabric equivalent to the popular factions plugin!
Quick answer
Which Colonies release should I use?
colonies-1.1.1.jar targets 1.16.3, 1.16.5, 1.16.4 with Fabric. The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both. All 2 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Colonies required on the client, server, or both?
The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both.
The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.
What else does colonies-1.1.1.jar need?
colonies-1.1.1.jar. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Flytre Lib (FlytreLib), Fabric API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Colonies add?
What is colonies?
Colonies brings the popular factions gamemode to Fabric. Group up, build bases, defend your turf, and raid other players in hopes of being able to take their chunks! While other players cannot interact with your chunks directly, they can use Tnt Cannons, place lava outside your turf to start fires, and do other things to gain access to your resources! You have been warned!
Colonies gain power for every player in the colony. Players gain power over time and lose power when dying. If the colony has too many chunks claimed and not enough power to support them, other colonies can come and override claims! Frontier life is dangerous!
